User Reviews
Pros
- Works well once connected and timers function properly.
- Parental controls enable locking sockets to timers and disabling physical buttons.
- Allows timer setup for devices.
- Basic functionality of switching smart sockets on and off.
Cons
- Difficult and unreliable pairing process, often requiring router reconfiguration and long setup times.
- App frequently fails to connect or recognize sockets; pairing modes (smart config/AP) often fail or are confusing.
- Lack of proper adaptation for daylight savings time causing timers to require manual resetting.
- App instability including crashes and freezing, especially when managing individual socket halves.
- Poor customer support and unresolved bugs, with users experiencing recurring problems and workarounds being ineffective.
Recent reviews
So I've found this app 'ok', until recently when I discovered that the timing feature doesn't adapt to local daylight savings. Consequently I have to adjust my timers every 6 months when the clocks change. Such a simple thing to accommodate, but not dealt with by the developers. I'll upgrade my rating if they ever introduce this.

Pairing process very difficult to follow. Forced me to reconfigure my wifi with 80 devices just to use single 2.4GHz while my network shared 2.4/5 without issues. Pairing took 3 hours and required to change half of my settings to be changed. Then to use any 3rd party integration it was not possible as device was locked during process. Found somewhere workaround to break process halfway after connecting to wifi which opened the pairing process once again.
